Abstract:

Uzbekistan is one of the important countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and is a country with severe biodiversity loss in Central Asia. Because there has been insufficient research on biodiversity conservation in Uzbekistan by both domestic and foreign scholars, this study analyzed the challenges to biodiversity conservation, conservation status, and management system. The problems of biodiversity conservation were summarized, and suggestions were proposed for cooperation between China and Uzbekistan on biodiversity conservation: (1) coordinating economic development and biodiversity conservation as a goal; (2) ecological restoration in the key areas as the opportunity; (3) promoting biodiversity conservation through scientific research cooperation on key species; (4) reversing the use of natural resources by developing ecotourism.

Key words: Uzbekistan, biodiversity conservation, management system, China-Uzbekistan cooperation
